Grout is a porous mixture. As a result, if not properly sealed, it can absorb water and accumulate dirt, causing it to stain. Sealing grout is the best way to keep it in good condition and protected from external agents. However, grout must be sealed regularly to avoid unnecessary expenses.

Terracotta is a type of ceramic tile known for its durability and earthy look. It also tends to give a warm, charming sensation that can sweep across any room when it's used as flooring. Terracotta is porous, which means it will last longer if it's properly sealed.

Soil builds up over time, dulling the appearance of tiles and discoloring grout. Even regular wiping and mopping can fail to remove the dirt that has penetrated the porous grout lines, especially when the fixtures are thin and hard to access by conventional means.

Porcelain tile floors are commonly used for kitchen areas because of their classy, elegant look. For one homeowner in Rye, NY, her kitchen was no exception. The kitchen had beautiful beige porcelain tiles, but the grout lines were dingy.

When many homeowners think about cleaning, they think about investing several hours trying to get rid of the dirt. The majority of them do not know the best products to use when performing deep cleaning, and as a consequence, surfaces become damaged little.

Sometimes, most of the homeowners do not know how to control the mold that grows in spaces full of humidity and moisture. What they also don't realize is that moisture is the only controllable aspect that promotes mold growth in showers.

When homeowners want to give a room a classy look, a common choice is to install marble floors. The advantage of having a marble floor is that it can elevate the appearance of any space. Besides, this natural stone is available in different presentations.

From ancient times, stone has played a prominent role in commercial and residential construction. Have you ever asked yourself why? Well, there are several reasons for this, but one common argument that people make is its uniqueness!

Natural stone is not only versatile, but it can also change the entire look of what would otherwise be a dull room. That is why natural stone has long been used in many kitchens as both countertops and floors.

Not many of us are great at noticing things that gradually get worse over time, and bathrooms. Somehow, we tend to fail to notice grime accumulating on the ever-darkening grout beneath our toes or the mold growing on the grime thanks to moisture.
